Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted July 29, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Joe Gibbs is 77....he is well set into the future. He seems to be in great shape but now much longer will he run things...if those youngsters have 10 year careers (which is conservative) he will be pushing 90! Richard Childress is 72 Rick Hendrick is 69 Jack Roush is 76 Nascar needs an infusion of new blood in the owner department.

hwytohell Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 8 hours ago, Jimmy Snacks said: No Shit....wonder what kind of changes he wants at Hendrick? Can't blame him for hating the TV gig especially considering how good the new NBC team is doing. BTW this Busch/ Erik Jones battle in the truck race is pretty good right now. They are almost 13 seconds ahead of third place and Shrub is now pulling away.... Many of these driver change deals focus upon what Truex will do . SHR - Ford wants him bad , but someone will have to go , Kurt Busch. The Dillion brats are staying put , till dick takes his last breath in francecar. Newman wants to go back to SHR or Penske with his sponsor package in tow , that will put RCR in a bad financial bind . Kurt Busch took a pay cut in his one year deal at SHR. If ?? Truex jumps to another ride who will get his ?? , a young wheel man or a veteran that might still produce top 10's or wins ?? Jimmy Johnson and his on paper car owner Jeff Gordon are very pissed off over his last two and a half years of on track performance , but he is under a new contract a Hendrick. Ejr. , would like to jump up into the big show with 1-2 cars but his sister/ business manager / team partner, plus his new wife , say don't do it. Any driver today or going forward will have a blinking red exit sign on him at age 40 and up for any top tier ride , unless you are winning multi races and getting top 10's. imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted July 29, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 29, 2018 So if Busch leaves SHR and Newman wants back in with his Cat sponsorship do Tony/Gene say yes or does Truex come aboard without sponsorship? Also I think Dale Jr. should listen to his family and stick with Xfinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he couldn't do it, but a lot of financial risk. Could be a interesting silly season to see who comes and who goes. The ownership group probably needs some new blood, but I'm going to say some of the drivers probably should consider moving on as well. It would be interesting if NASCAR actually enforced the 2 cars per owner rule. 11 minutes ago, Jimmy Snacks said: So if Busch leaves SHR and Newman wants back in with his Cat sponsorship do Tony/Gene say yes or does Truex come aboard without sponsorship?

Ejr. has always listened to his sister, they are very tight. ( You are aware she was a very talented driver and beat Ejr at many short track venues . E.sr would have none of it for her to move up ) plus his new wife. I can't tell what will happen with Newman , he tends to run the cars way over their limits trying to catch a win. Maybe Newman will take Cat to the Toyota- Truex ride if he jumps to another team ?? Twilight of his wheeling days re- birth ??

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted July 29, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 29, 2018 I didn't realize she was a racer as well...I did know that she used to be married to crew chief Jimmy Elledge and their two kids are racers.

hwytohell Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 She used to beat the boys all the time, Ejr lost a couple of local short track races to her as she was wheeling under a assumed name and trying to dress / look like one of the guys for cover. Ejr thought it was a total hoot on his dad . Esr. found out about it in person , and blew a gasket. Plus the cars she was driving came from a different shop, paid from her and Ejr's pockets to ad to his spewing steam. He never ever thought a female should race a car. Just like King Richard. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
